Philly singer Jill Scott returns to long-form LP format after over a decade away with To Whom This May Concern, her sixth album and first since Woman in 2015. Scott's is a patient craft, echoing the take of creator as divine human vessel: "I wait to be inspired... until the words are dripping out of my mouth." A modern update of classic talent, it folds neo-soul and r&b into a modern studio palette shaped by producers Andre Harris, Adam Blackstone, Om'Mas Keith, DJ Premier and Trombone Shorty, with guest verses from Ab-Soul, JID, Tierra Whack and Too Short. 'Beautiful People' and 'Pressha' set the tone over haunting electronic jazz and ruefully acceptant themes, a faint downtown drama underlying the tone.
